timetable that includes actual dates for reclamation. Please update Table 67 and submit <br />it with the revised reclamation plan and timing requested in question 12 above. <br />16. Permit page 2.05 -29 includes a discussion of the "No. 9 Coal Refuse Disposal Site ". This <br />section describes the design, construction, maintenance and reclamation of the No. 9 <br />Mine refuse pile. The Mine No. 9 Portal refuse pile was reclaimed in the summer of <br />2009. Please update the No. 9 Coal Refuse Disposal Site section of the permit on <br />page 2.05 -29 to include a discussion of the reclamation of the refuse pile. Please <br />leave the design, construction and maintenance portions in the section for historic <br />purposes but the reclamation portion of the section will need to be updated with the <br />actual reclamation that was completed on the Mine No. 9 Portal refuse pile. <br />17. Permit page 2.05 -29 contains a section titled "Solid Waste Disposal Facility ". This <br />section details the recently permitted solid waste disposal facility that was used for <br />demolition debris during the reclamation conducted in 2008 (TR -34). During the 2008 <br />reclamation a hole was dug for the demolition debris. After the demolition was <br />completed, MCM covered the hole, replaced topsoil and seeded the disturbance. Since <br />that time, MCM has dug another small dozer slot in the solid waste disposal area for the <br />ongoing disposal of mine - related waste materials. While the Division believes that this <br />dozer slot is within the scope of the permitted solid waste disposal facility, there is no <br />mention, specifically, of this practice. Please amend the text on permit page 2.05 -29 <br />which relates to the Solid Waste Disposal Facility. Please include a description of <br />the dozer slot(s) that is currently being used for the disposal of mine- related <br />materials. Please include a reclamation plan for the dozer slot and any subsequent <br />dozer slots that MCM digs. Please also include a list of the types of materials that <br />MCM will be placing in the dozer slot. <br />18. Permit page 2.05 -31 contains a discussion of the "No. 5 and No. 6 Mine -Water Handling <br />System ". Please review the information contained in this section for completeness <br />and accuracy since MCM is replacing the Mine No. 5 dewatering pump. <br />19. Beginning on permit page 2.05 -31.1, MCM discusses some of the individual areas of the <br />mine that will be reclaimed. With the reclamation that was performed in 2008, 2009 and <br />2010, the status of some of these areas has changed. These areas include changes to the <br />wastewater facility, the old shop area (Empire Village), the multiple services building and <br />the miscellaneous areas. Please update the reclamation status of the areas listed in <br />the permit, beginning on page 2.05 -31.1, to reflect the reclamation completed in <br />2008, 2009 and 2010. <br />20. Permit page 2.05 -32 contains the Williams Fork Mines' "Noxious Weed Management <br />Plan". One of the problems noted on the site in recent inspections is the Russian <br />Knapweed infestation. The weed management plan contains very little information <br />regarding this noxious weed. There are also scattered patches of hounds tongue on the <br />site, mostly along the east side of the haul road and refuse piles. There is no individual <br />mention of the hounds tongue in the weed management plan, with the exception of a <br />statement that spraying for white top also addresses hounds tongue. Finally, based on the <br />Williams Fork Mines C -1981 -044 <br />2011 Midterm Review (MT -06) -10- 28 June 2011 <br />
